Re: machine shop horror stories
I have only ever used a lathe twice. One of the two times, I left the key thingy in and it flew out. Not good.
Being a programmer, I generally don't do precision machining (mill and lathe), but will make small parts - generally to mount electrical components. They generally aren't that perfect, but they are good enough for electrical components.
